Today we celebrate Veterans and their commitment, hard-work, and dedication displayed throughout their service to The United States. From our very own Vets at AMI, to those across the world- we thank you.
Acts of kindness and goodwill are common threads that bind us all. To celebrate #WorldKindnessWeek we want to share our recent acts of service in supporting our communities and neighbors across the nation. Let’s celebrate all the ways we can demonstrate our friendliness, helpfulness, and consideration to others!
Throughout the year, our Heritage family will collect items for the communities we work and live in that are in need. In September, we collected more than 12,020 essential items for victims and survivors of domestic violence across the country.
The AMI team was dedicated to supporting Breast Cancer Awareness Month. We all wore pink! From the President, to the plant and operations teams, we sported shades of pink in honor of those who have battled or are currently fighting breast cancer. We also participated in a fundraising event in solidarity with those who’ve received a breast cancer diagnosis and to remind everyone about the importance of screenings.

Lending Both Time and Expertise to Help Gleaners Food Bank
Gleaners is making an important difference for Hoosiers across the 21 counties they serve. During the challenging times we’ve all experienced the last few years, Gleaners has seen an amazing outpouring of support from our community. Every volunteer is an invaluable part of their fight against hunger.
Members of our Asphalt Materials team were on site at the Indianapolis Gleaners location on Waldemere Avenue on the 13th of September. The team helped package over 100 orders, which included enough for nearly 6000 meals.
This Asphalt Materials Inc. (AMI) project included the construction of two (2) winter tanks and three (3) polymer concentrate tanks. Additionally, we added an in-line blending system and truck loading station. AMI also leveraged Champaign Asphalt’s help with site grading and underground civil construction work.
The event was held on August 10, 2022

This event is part of a larger initiative of Asphalt Materials Inc., which is partnering with 20 United Ways across the Midwest on volunteer projects. The company’s Indianapolis location is partnering with United Way of Central Indiana for the August project. The business will host another project in November, at the same time, the company’s other locations will volunteer with their local United Ways over the course of one week.
United Way’s basic needs work helps provide Hoosiers with affordable housing, reliable transportation, access to healthcare services – and healthy food. The need is great: Nearly 40% of Indiana households cannot afford to meet their basic needs, according to United Way.
“We are so grateful for the partnership with AMI and their commitment to the communities they operate in,” said Ashley Furois, United Way’s vice president of workplace fundraising. “These kinds of volunteer opportunities make a real difference to families who are facing economic instability because it’s one less worry in a sea of overwhelming and difficult decisions they face every day.”
Volunteers for the August event will be building kits during the times listed below.
#AMISERVES means that the AMI team is committed to building a safer, more enriching and sustainable world in the communities where we live and work.
